The beginning
Well, it’s time. I have joined Medium. I have clapped, commented, and highlighted. I have even joined into the membership so that I too can support the community. Now, it's my time to write. I’ve always been one to keep a running of notes for all the thoughts, opinions and views that I would write about, never to have published. Well, here it is; my start.
Why did I make a Medium?
It all started when I read one Medium article, which lead to another, and then ultimately I became preoccupied by continuously reading a variety of different subjects. Medium to me is a platform in which “everyone has a story to share and the best ones are delivered right to you.”. In fact, I noted how Medium had resembled to twitter alot - which is also social platform i’m also very dedicated to. You could say Medium in comparison to Twitter, consists of longer content and an more algorithmic timeline of various stories and topics of your interest. For being an advocate Twitter user, I decided I wanted to publish my thoughts, stories, views & opinions elsewhere- not to have an engaging audience, but simply to write by letting my own words out.

Not only do I write on social platforms, but I also enjoy handwriting but to more deep and personal content. Words manifest emotions, nourish imagination, and benefiting to heal/process wounds & grief- clearing them out.
I liked Medium because you don’t just brainlessly scroll through pictures and videos without discovering what they are truly about. I’ve naturally always been a very inquisitive person, to know how one’s mind works , what they think and why they choose to perceive things in a certain way- Medium appears to be the ideal platform to captivate this curiosity of mine ; to discover various people solely through their words. This is a platform for people to read, acquire knowledge, and communicate through their words, and I'm excited to let my mind be put into words.
